A lot of people might consider them garbage fish, but you haven’t angled until you’ve got a 25-lb. carp on the end of 5-lb. test using ultralight tackle. (Extra points if you have to construct a jury-rigged net, as my old fishing gang did, in order to lift caught carp vertically 15 feet up the side of the bridge you’re fishing from!)

They aren’t Carp, they’re Goldfish. In these potentially inflationary times, Goldfish can be a good investment.

I got some questions... feel free to answer them...

#1 Are carps good eatin'?

#2 If #1 is "yes" then why is it going to cost the taxpayers 1.5 million dollars?

#3 is this part of that economic stimulus plan from OBAMA!?

I can remember my dad taking us kids to Utah Lake to fish for carp. They were big fish, usually around 10 pounds. I don’t remember eating them, but I remember dad catching them and reeling them in. The lake is shallow, and quite warm in the summer, which makes fish grow fast.

I can't believe these fish wouldn't be worth something to somebody. This could pay for itself.

Isn't gefilte fish made from carp?

Good luck.
In Lake Davis (CA) $21 million has been spent on eradication efforts of the non-native Northern Pike Since 2000, which included attempts to poison the entire fish population of the lake.
Fish and Game has a full-time team of 35 employees working on the pike effort.
